The Memory Jar By Elissa Janine Hoole

The Memory Jar by Elissa Janine Hoole
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

I found the start of this confusing, as the book switched from "Then" and "Now" every chapter or two. It got less confusing as the story went on, but the whole thing still felt quite jumpy because of it.

This wasn't a bad read, but the pacing was so slow for me that the book felt like it went on forever, so there were times where I felt bored because of that.

Overall, An okay read, but it dragged quite badly.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

I felt quite sorry for Hope in this at points, but I didn't love her character.

This was slightly confusing at first, because the POV changes between Hope and her brother changed every few pages, so it felt quite jumpy. It got better as it went on though, and it was an okay read overall.

After the Woods By Kim Savage

After the Woods by Kim Savage
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

I was really looking forward to this one, but unfortunately, it was disappointing.

I felt quite sorry for Julia, as what she went through would be scary for anyone. Liv on the other hand, annoyed me quite a lot through this. Her "You're fine now." attitude really irritated me.

This started out okay, but after a while the book started to really drag for me. It felt like it would never end at times, so I was quite relieved when it actually did.

Overall, Not a bad read, but it was slow, and disappointing for me.

This was slightly confusing at first because of the amount of characters introduced, but apart from that it was alright.

I felt quite sorry for Topher again in this one, he was obviously still dealing with a lot of grief for Ciera.
Destiny was an okay character, but I didn't like her as much as Ciera, and I didn't like her and Topher's relationship as much either.

This was an okay read, but I didn't enjoy it as much as Learning to Live. The romance just wasn't as good for me, and the story didn't hook me as much.

I have to say though, there was one time where Flynn really annoyed me - (view spoiler)[When he blamed Harper for ruining her life because she didn't stop what was happening to her. Even though those thoughts didn't last long, it really annoyed me. (hide spoiler)]

I felt quite sorry for Sam in this. Dealing with her OCD would be hard enough, without having to hide it from her friends. I was glad when she told someone about what she was going through, but I could understand why she didnt confide in her "friends". They weren't very nice ones!

The pacing in this was quite slow, which made the story drag slightly at times. It was still a pretty enjoyable read though.
